Small Journal Upgrades
I updated Dwelling’s tempaltes and infrastructure a bit, something which I’ve only done a couple of times in the past year.
The most visible change is that the Archives page is no longer a single mass of links, but it now an organized long listing of all of my entries. It’s interesting to see that monthly, I’ve keep a pretty consistent pace in terms of posts, though over the last year, it feels like things have slowed down a bit.
The second change is the addition of a meta tag: <meta name=”ICBM” content=”45.52361, -122.675″ > which identifies the location that I’m usually posting from: Portland, Oregon.
This actually feeds into another item which is the listing of Dwelling at OrBlogs.com. This has a lot of Oregon-oriented blogs, which I was already on, though I didn’t know it. It’s been a goal of mine to find more local feeds and to keep up with local news and such. Local-news-wise, there’s two sites that suck: oregonlive.com and kgw.com (intentionally unlinked) because of their sucky load times/or required registration. I’ll look at www.katu.com if I want to know what’s happening ont he local media, but I’ll be checking orblogs.com more often now.
It seems that my *really* early listing of Dwelling on my.userland.com’s RSS aggegator and Netscape’s “My.Netscape” continues to impact the spread of my journal’s feed, even without any effort from myself. How early was that? March 1999 or there abouts…
